Honestly I'm not at all convinced, it seems to be another try to push childish stuff in modern systems... Yes, widgets based GUIs are designed with a specific aspect ratio and size in mind, DocUIs tend to be designed with an aspect ratio but scale well enough (think about web-apps, not just Emacs buffers). The lack of integration is only solvable with the classic model "the OS is an application, there is a single unique environment for anything", so all apps are written as part of the sole system/framework from the most lower level to the highest end-user programming.

Something perfectly possible, actually done in the past, with very nice results, see just for instance https://youtu.be/RQKlgza_HgE to not go too much back in history toward Xerox Smalltalk workstations. but also something commercial big player do dislike, since in this model you can only pay the programmer, not the program/service so no giants only competition...

Text and relative text rendering is the most flexible and integrable tool we have so far, and the web itself is a good proof and show as well the limits of trying not giving power to the end user.

On "modern desktops", honestly Ubuntu Unity was a thing because the side bar was just a quick launcher with some icons, something usual on a good place since we have larger and larger monitor with less and less vertical space, and the top bar was as small as fluxbox at al. Gnome SHell tried the narcissistic way, forcing people to see animations just for common windows switching witch surely have a kind of WOW effects for the kids, but far less interesting to work all day. Ubuntu also pushed the HUD, or a way to replace the apps menu with a CLI search&narrow style, witch was essentially the same principle than dash and quicklaunchers in general AND the Emacs M-x model. However in Emacs anyone can craft a function in a snap and run it through M-x, in modern desktops it's a hard, long thing with much boilerplate. Just to create a .desktop, witch is a kind of functions skeleton in the Emacs model, you need a dedicated file only for that, put in a specific place, than the code somewhere else etc. People do like seen beautiful gardens, but do want quick things, so the path of regulate the world in advance all modern system try is a failure in advance.

Yep. That's the problem with timed free trials. It applies pressure to sign up only within your magical goldilocks timeframe, otherwise you'll likely bounce because you're not ready to start your 14/30/41/60/etc. day eval.

I wish I didn't have to start activities with my garmin fenix. I would like it to just prompt me "I've noticed it appears you just went for a walk, confirm yes/no"

When I enter an activity such as weight lifting it seems to be able to infer what exercise I performed, it seems like it should be able to infer when I am going for a run or a walk.

Thanks. I still think civilization without society works pretty well as a (necessarily lossy) compression. The US as a civilization without a sense of communitarian civics. The presence of such in rare cases (e.g. Belmont) puts its broader absence into sharper relief.

Show HN: Startkit.ai – Boilerplate for building products with AI
Hey HN!

I've been serially building AI projects for over a year, and building node + js SaaS products for over 10 years with my partner.

We decided to combine everything we know about AI with our node best-practices into a code boilerplate and see if it can help anyone else!

We've had a bunch of positive feedback already from early-users, and at least two SaaS products being developed right now with StartKit.AI as their base.

Here's what you get!

→ Pre-built modules for all common AI tasks:

- Chat! Everything to build a ChatGPT clone or your own chatbot. With best-practice implementations of embeddings, function-calling, RAG, web-crawling and more.
- Image creation, detection, editing
- Long-form text creation, blog posts etc
- Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech
- Live translation
- Moderation, harmful-text detection and sentiment analysis

→ Admin Dashboard to see details of your customers' API usage and manage your vector embeddings.

→ Out of the box middleware for user authentication, usage and rate limits, Stripe integration, and more!

→ 5 demo applications, ChatGPT Clone, "Chat with a PDF", Image avatar creator, and Blog Post Generator.

→ Access to our GitHub repo with the code for everything, as well as our discussion board and Telegram Support Channel.

Currently we just support OpenAIs models, but soon we'll be adding support for more.

I'll be happy to answer any questions!
you've conveniently cropped out only a little bit of what i said there to make it look like i said something else.

i explicitly said bollards should be up to the jurisdiction. it's reasonable to prioritize other things. that's fine. all i'm saying is that decision should be intentional.

if you're going to make a decision to prioritize aesthetics or cost, it should actually be a decision that gets made somewhere along the line. the status quo is that "should we install bollards here" is not even a question that gets asked for most applications, whether the answer to that question is yes or no.

Replacing a battery is an operating expenditure that you'd have to bear even in years where the weather is crap and your chemical inputs and fuel costs go through the roof. So you're paying someone relatively tech savvy to drive around to all of your fields replacing hundreds of batteries which could cost you a few thousand all in.

The cost of a well drilling rig and the time in nice arable soil is going to be a few thousand dollars. So you're comparing thousands of dollars a year to thousands of dollars once.
> This is how the British state forces were able to use chemical weapons against the civilian population in Northern Ireland.

I'm guessing these Catholics from Northern Ireland were British citizens, right?

This is something between separatism and civil war (although much closer to the former than the latter).

A better analogy would be if the Republic of Ireland settled its citizens there en masse and provided them with weapons, similarly to what Egypt did when they controlled Gaza.

A significant portion of Gaza's population today is descended from Egypt, they even speak with the Egyptian accent.

And majority of the advanced weapons were smuggled via Egypt.

about is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Let's walk through more slowly.

Israel withdrew from Gaza when? Then imposed a blockade when and in response to what?

I'm hearing that Netanyahu supported Hamas, now I'm hearing from you Israel supported Fatah. Which is it? Either way, or both, it sounds pretty nefarious of these wiley, shifty Israelis. They do this simply because they are evil or is there a charitable interpretation that they are addressing a a specific concern?

I feel like Graeber's book is another (left leaning) fad to glom on to, like Piketty's book some years back.

I found this book, The Price of Time by Edward Chancellor [1], very useful for understanding the development of money and debt over history. It's so detailed and clearly extensively researched.

Yeah, I love the Pi for this reason, most upgrades are a matter of ordering the parts, like building a PC back in the day. Sometimes I look at my web server though (rpi 4), with its small size and touch screen already looking like a smartphone, and wondering if I could have just used an iPhone to host these sites & APIs on.

iPhone 12
Apple A14 Bionic @ 2.99 GHz
1 Processor, 6 Cores
5.60 GB

Raspberry Pi 4
ARM BCM2711 @ 1.50 GHz
1 Processor, 4 Cores
1.77 GB

I think iPhone always outperforms Raspberry Pi: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/4581331?baselin...

Which makes sense since it was $1000 and the Pi was $35.
> I can see how it makes sense psychologically, even if not mathematically

He acknowledges this. It's about the psychological effect of seeing your list of debts grow smaller. I think a big part of his audience are people who have historically been very bad with money, which is why some of his advice seems strange to people who are already financially responsible. People with a bunch of maxed out credit cards and loans on ATVs and crap.
I think it's actually the reverse. The house is the only collateral, but traditionally you would still owe the deficit if the collateral couldn't be sold to pay off the whole loan. This is what's changed in recent decades. A lot (most? all?) primary-residence home loans in the US are non-recourse, meaning that you aren't liable for the deficit - you only lose the house.
Sourcegraph CEO here. It’s not $99/user/month anymore. It’s great that a lot of companies were willing to pay that, but we and our customers prefer a lower per-user price and a higher % of devs at the company using it (ideally 100%). We reduced prices for our customers (current and future). You can see the posted pricing at https://sourcegraph.com/pricing.

For any other dev tools companies, I’d strongly recommend having lower prices so that every dev at your customer can use it (if that’s relevant for your product). If you start seeing customers be really picky with who gets a license, it’s probably priced too high.

You're correct that this is how it works. It's just really sad, and shouldn't be.

C3 boards are a mess, almost all of them are single-port with a USB-UART chip despite supporting USB-CDC & JTAG. Lots of C6 boards are dual-port but sometimes they're single-port, typically without a USB-UART chip. And to make it more confusing, sometimes a single-port C6 board will have a USB-UART chip that's hanging off a USB hub chip.

S3 has full USB-OTG support and most boards are either dual-port or single-port without a USB-UART chip. I dig 'em because I can put the TinyUF2 bootloader on them and get that Pi Pico experience of having them come up as mass storage.

Except for these S3 boards I bought in Arduino Uno format where the designer made every decisions as wrongly as possible — single USB, USB-UART chip, and the USB pins broken out to Arduino pins instead of using one of the optional headers they added.

What's so hard about a compiler? You read some files, split into tokens, sort into a tree, and then walk the tree and write some instructions to disk at each node. Can be done in a couple hundred lines of code. (\s: the point is that all software gets complicated, and a few thousand lines is not a lot of code)

I remember sitting in conference room once and between meetings we started discussing the MBA degree and how you often needed one to move up at big companies. I mused that I didn't understand why this was so important since an MBA program didn't teach you much that you couldn't learn on the job or by reading a few books.

A colleague of mine, who'd recently gotten his MBA, started laughing out loud. He said, "You're missing the whole point. Nobody cares about the course content or what you learn. The value of the MBA is that it's proof you can spend a lot of time and effort completing bullshit assignments on time without too much heel-dragging or back talk. It tells the world you'll keep your head down and not cause too much trouble for the organization".
to be fair, I don't think yelling at someone for their flaws is very effective at fixing them.

My reasoning can be summed up as "look at prison recidivism vs Skinner's work on positive reinforcement".
Well, I can nitpick some of what you said but I largely agree. I think it's not crazy to call Israel's policies in the WB apartheid, effectively, or at least there's a real case to be made there, though I think you're right about the actual effects of using it as a political flattening, and applying it to all of Israel doesn't make sense.

> So, no, I'm not convinced that Western pro-Palestinians are not on some level intentionally genocidal. I cannot otherwise explain the level of hate and vitriol directed at Israel way out of proportion to any other conflict or situation on the planet.

Well I think the fact that many focus on Israel specifically is anti-semitic, at least at the top. I think 90% of people are followers, and are jumping on this cause just because it's popular, without necessarily understanding it in the context of the rest of what's happening around the world.

I wouldn't call any of that genocidal though, that's a pretty high bar.

Oh my god, do we need yet another slightly differently looking font for the basic Latin alphabet in the Unicode? I guess I can use them for the keywords in my next world-disrupting programming language, but still: don't we have like, at least 8 fancy fonts already? Could we get at least a second Greek alphabet instead, pretty please?

The symbols for electronic circuits and sprites are fine though. I particularly appreciate the right-facing fish with open mouth.
Skimming or folding to only show the names of the functions might make it easier to grok. For example, there are about 75 OSStatus messages this driver supports.

There are a ton of case statements; each one represents a situation that must be supported.

3500 lines goes quickly when you divide it by a few hundred situations/statuses.

As comments in another discussion tree have said, it's a shame that macOS doesn't provide some of this natively. If it did then this would probably be higher level code and shorter. Knowing where the boundary lies between the system and the application is part of having an understanding of why all this was written.

I wouldn't feel bad about this; it's just a domain knowledge thing. Be excited by the opportunity to learn with a toy project or a deep code review!

My work emails are in Outlook and I automatically sort into folders (and then I use search folders to see everything new).

But one thing which I was surprised helped me enormously was setting up some simple "canned replies" using Quick Actions in Outlook (my simplest is to send a one word reply "Approved"). I think this is because it seems to avoid the need for me to mentally "context switch" so much.
When I saw this headline I assumed it was a lifetime membership. It's apparently the annual cost.

Ask HN: Would you use an MFA API?
We recently had to add MFA (multi-factor authentication) our web app and were disappointed by the MFA APIs on the market. Twilio has Verify but it’s very expensive (5 cents / verification + channel fees). Others are still expensive and with weak DevEx. We ended up just using a text messaging API and building the MFA logic ourselves.

Now I’m seriously considering building a no frills, reasonably priced MFA API. Would others be willing to pay for this? What challenges would I face? Does this seem like a crazy idea?
Great to see an opensource package that does function calling at a low level.

I understand, and even agree with the notion that deep societal distrust is unhealthy and problematic, however, that doesn't necessarily answer the question of needing that trust in the first place [to regulate]. Having a company with that much power is in fact harder to regulate, which in turn means we are going to have to trust the public institutions even more to do their jobs.

I don't see why we should put ourselves in a position where we need that kind of trust. Another way to put it is, why burden the government with an unsustainable uncompetitive market? For what?

OpenAI is a for-profit private corporation with a commercial service to offer that has no bearing on the most important concerns the government is elected each year to tackle.
